Make It Sparkle

The Use It Tuesday announcement came out yesterday.  You can see it here.  And, today is is my first post with them.   I am thrilled to be a part of this team,  and am really looking forward to inspiring others to use of their scrappy stash, as twice a month we bring you fun challenges to help with the process.

The challenge this week is to "Make It Sparkle".  I chose to use these photos of the girls and my mini Christmas shoot in front of our tree.

Part of the stash I've used up on this layout is this felt Making Memories embellishment is from two years ago.  The song book page, and Studio Calico are also "old" items.

The sparkle I've added is some super old Pink Paislee alphas (those flourishes were also from the alpha package), and some new sequins that my sweet friend Tara gave to me recently.

I would love for you to pop over to the Use It Tuesday Blog and see what the rest of the dt created for the challenge.  If you decide to play along, please link me up, I'd love to come by and leave some love.

Thanks for stopping by today friends, I sure appreciate it.  And a special thank you to those of you who left comments on my "sad moments" layout from yesterday.  Yes it was a little difficult to scrap, but I am thankful that I was able to use the experience to encourage some of you that things don't always end up the way you think they're going to.  God is good!
